What lock does the Hogue Expel 35844 use?＋

Press down on the spine lock release to fold the blade closed.
What replacement blades are compatible with the Hogue Expel?＋
The Expel natively uses Hogue Control Point 60 (CP60) 420 stainless steel replaceable blades. It is also cross-compatible with standard #60 and #70 industry replacement scalpel blades.
How do you safely replace the blade on the Hogue Expel?＋
